mellizz 's review for:

House of Blight by Maxym M. Martineau
3.75
dark mysterious slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A dark, gothic romantasy with a lot of secrects, twists and magic, fit for fans of Belladonna and One Dark Window. 

When I picked up this book, I did not know what to expect but I was pleasently surprised. I really enjoy this world and the magic system, and the spin on the 'fae'. Hopefully we will find out more about them in the next book. 

Edira was a goog FMC. She is selfless but strong and comes with a certain bit of female rage. Yes, she was a bit too gullible at times but not so much that it would have been annoying. 
The romance aspect is there, but it is not the sole focus of the story. I would descirbe it as a kind of love triangle with a bit of a twist, without spoiling too much. 

The ending was satisfying, but left enough open to keep you interested for more.
